FOREWORD 'E HILL OF THE FREE WINDS - the fulness of the spring moon that Uncas' spirit t;; the Happy Hunting-Ground. And on that night n of the tribe gathered on the island known as and danced to the song of the Great Spirit as it the gleaming waters. And when they could see r it n r'ngltar, they moved in solemn procession over the ;fffsland, following the water's edge to the mainland, the trail leading up the Hill of the Free Winds, that over the shining water. There, on the crest of the that spot they built a fire in which to burn his hair ifice, and as they danced in a slow-moving circle around the soothsayer chanted farewell to their Departed Spirit. 'T'F.alr;zh ell, farewell, thou Mighty Spirit, These hills where thou hast roamed Shall ever mourn thy going. Thy bravery and thy strength Sl'id'll live forever in thy tribe. And.'bqie. as we bury thy headdress and weapon, We plant the seeds of thy fearless spirit. And on this Hill shall grow the fruit, The fruit of thy might and thy courage. And when the blossom shall be full-blown, With promise of fruit in the future, Then shalt thou, O Spirit of Uncas, Leave for a while thy Hunting-Ground, Come striding back o'er the molten waters, And the hills thou hast loved shall feel thee once more. If then, O Spirit of Uncas, Thou see not the proud strength that thou worshipest Then is this soothsayer chan . That glides, and slides, ged to a vile serpent, and knows nothing of Truth. 10 Many moons had passed before the spirit of Uncas came back to the Hill of the Free Winds. It was again the fulness of the spring moon, and music was being chanted from a stone- wall by a gathering of black-gowned maidens. - And the mighty Uncas looked in disgust at the white-faced maidens, and the stone wigwams, and the lights that cheapened the moonlight, and was about to pronounce the soothsayer's doom, when another spirit came dancing toward him-the spirit called the Good Fairy, the emblem of the chanting black-gowned ones. She checked his wrath, and told him the story of the maidens, and of their college that had grown on the Hill of the Free Winds; and the story that she laid before his mighty judgment is in part unfolded in these pages. : KOINE BOARD Editor-in-Chief RACHEL SMITH Senior Associate Editors LOUISE LEE RUTH PATTEE Junior Associate Editor Art Editor GRACE FISHER DOROTHY GREGSON Business Manager Junior Art Editor BARBARA ASHENDEN HELEN PEALE Photography Editors DOROTHY WULF CATHERINE CONE Junior Assistant Business Managers BLANCHE FINESILVER JEANETTE SPERRY Ex-Officio ESTHER WATROUS BOARD OF TRUSTEES .iMARSHALL, A.

I like to think of the queer little old white farmhouse as it was when my mother lived there during two years of her little girlhood. At that time her mother, who was Mary Hempstead Bolles, wrote and illustrated what was probably the first children's book pub- lished in Connecticut. This, with the four succeeding it, was put forth in one volume called The Casket of Toys. My own copy has red and gold covers. Some day when you come to tea with me in this old house, ask me to show it to yvou. There are stories and poems and dear quaint pictures. Among the poems is an illustrated alphabet beginning: A for an Apple so rosy and round. When it reaches M it says: M is for Mary so full of her play. Mary was my mother. and there is a picture of her illustrating the rhyme. The picture shows her as she looked when a little girl in short skirts and scalloped pantalettes, playing with her kitten while grandmother drew her. Another of the rhymes says: W is for William, A smart lad is he. William was a real oy, and he was a smart lad. He was my mother's cousin, William Palmer Bolles, and he lived on the farm next south of the present College grounds, and since known as the Calvert place. His picture makes him look like a very intelligent, dignified little boy. He grew up to be Dr. Bolles t;f Bc'yston, Mass., and You are now using his beautiful library, his microscope and his fine telescope, all of which he bequeathed to -Connecticut College in his will. I think he also gave you an Instrument invented by his father, William Bolles, which would sBolve problems in trigonometryap interesting device. William olles also compiled a dictionary while living on Bolles Hill. You will find a copy of it in Dy. Bolles collection of books. He loved Bolleswood when a bo tf-xrough the woods and pastures. violets around the Hill. I wonder Yy and used to go botanizing He found seven varieties of how many you have found. 18 Another of grandmother's rhymes is about Mrs. Lillie, then Marian, Hempstead. In the rhyme she is Rosaline. Some of you know and love her and go to see her. So you see how mathematics and poetry and science and art are in the very air you breathe. I have given you n brief glimpse of the life once lived on your own hill as my mother remembers it when she was a little girl, seventy years ago. Your warm friend, ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH. 0 College years - How swift Th;v run CLASS SONG Tune O, O, Aladdin Our Nineteen Twenty-One All hail thy fame! May we bring honor to thy name!

RS 21 OFFICERS 1917-1918 President, Dorothy Gregson N i Vice-President, Laura Batchelder - Secretary, Agnes Leahy Treasurer, Rachel Smith Historian, Esther Allen Cheer Leader, Esther Watrous CLASS HISTORY 1917-1918 JYHE first impression of Connecticut College received by the . class of 1921 was a confused blend of trunks and schedules, strange girls and fear of hazing, text books and note books, and a desire to actually belong to the goodly fellowship. At the beginning, the Freshmen made all the mistakes ex- ' pected of them and performed a pathetic number of additional blunders. They rushed into wrong classes and sat in Junior seats at chapel, attended council meeting thinking it to be Student Government, and cordially befriended Miss Blue and youthful upper-classmen whom they supposed were fellow Freshmen. Some suspicious souls refused to go to the Bolleswood picnic the Sophomores were too agreeable and hazing was scented but the venturesome Freshmen thoroughly enjoyed the Sopho- mores who seemed about to bubble over with good cheer and warmth-and the ginger pop which did. By the time they had crowded about the ice cream-cones at Blackstone back door they had begun to know each other and to talk intelligently of a few revered upper classmen. Indeed, before the first week was over faces and names had distinguished themselves from the blur of novelty and the Fresh- men were perfectly happy. With deep respect they had heard President Marshall's first address and, to ' freshmen only, him, also a newcome class of 21. An extraordinary amount of information and enthusiasm was abs?rbed from the various meetings held in the chilly field house c?urmg the first weeks. The Service League thrilled with a bril- n of uniforms and hospitals and factory an A.A. meeting each girl confidently 22 after a more informal talk a resolution was passed to straightway make r at Connecticut, an honorary member of the pictured herself in a perfect bodice of numerals and C's. And each new girl in college gloried in Student Government. On October 13, 1917, the Freshman class was not only sad- dened by the contact with the grief of the Juniors and Sopho- mores, who so tenderly mourned the death of Dr. Sykes, but they were also impressed seriously with the realization of a great personal loss and greater heritage. Trojan Women, given by the classical department in Sep- tember, gave the new members of the college family a glimpse of the dramatic, artistic and musical talent possessed by the fac- ulty and student body. It was not a little satisfaction, moreover, that one of 21's huskiest members was chosen to be a Greek sol- dier and the class lifted its head a bit higher and thenceforth refused to be called an infant. A great wave of thrift and money-making swept the college in response to President Marshall's stirring appeal for the Stu- dents Friendship Fund. Everyone pushed her pledge as high as she dared: and shoe-blacking, shampooing and mending were cultivated arts. It was, however, a startling fact that dramatic means such as clerking downtown were much more laudable than sacrifice of movies or Pete's. The Sophomores entertained the Freshmen so royally on Octo- ber seventeenth that it quite took away the sting of the morning's defeat at hockey. A hilarious variety of amusement was offered at the party, and Freshmen will always remember the parody of Trojan Women' just as they will remember the Circus to which the Juniors took them. The formal inauguration of President Marshall took place November twenty-third. It was the source of inspiration and an enlargement of ideals and sense of responsibility. The Fresh- men were eager and humble and awed by the sight of something infinitely big. The faculty in cap and gown as they appeared at the inaugu- ration were resplendent with gold tassels here and there, and hoods and stoles of bright color against the black robes, but the faculty's appearance at the Faculty-Junior soccer game was quite a different tone. They were arrayed in sport clothes, Indian blankets and skating caps, resurrected from forgotten corners or borrowed from students or certain small and also enthusiastic sons of the faculty. The colors they boasted proved to be the 23 colors of victory, but the juniors joined the other classes in de- :xil;.;'ing the professors quite the finest a col!cgc could have. - + Before the Thanksgiving holidays various members of '2 made athletic teams, news staff, Glee Club, dramatics, in fact every organization open to all classes. The most exciting event ' for the Freshmen, however, was its selections of officers and, with 1 y - - . - ; ev n Dotty marching up in front, they felt equal to anything, eve midyears looming up beyond the Christmas vacation. In January some sensitive temperaments felt a horrible pre- 'monition when quarantine descended upon Winthrop House. But spirits bounded up again in spite of forebodings, after Presi- dent and Mrs. Marshall entertained so delightfully at a reception 'Wa'sl:iihgt'on's birthday; and after the Service League dance the Freshmen insisted life at Connecticut was a thing of joy and laughter. One Saturday evening in April the college gymnasium was packed to see the French play with several Freshmen in the cast. The success was counted by 2 1 to be in part a Freshmen triumph, and after seeing Dramatic Club plays with Freshmen stars, the class swelled with pride to the proportions of Monsieur Jourdain - himself. At a late spring meeting of the class its chief talent was again exhibited, that talent being the ability to choose the right person for presdient, and Agnes Leahy was selected for '21's Sophomore president. May-day brought a misty, dreary sky, but in spite of the lowering heavens, chapel was held between Plant and Blackstone and the Glee Club cheerfully trippity tropped to Bylow where the pigs were in the bean row. Less cheerful but perhaps more enthusiastic were the praises and farewell songs which bade Dr. Morris goodbye that afternoon at the station. The class of 1921 offered its best talent to the bazaar for .Belg:an Relief held on Mohican Roof, May seventeenth, and en- ;loslrcd th? affair heartily, But the events of the following day tl:cdt::;i:?::r?; ;ief;l:.;eshmeDn. 1921 was pioneering by starting gretted having slept tl?:a: h al;y. e o e Clafsn-la 0 sight of white-clad girlsowgith e theTEbY- b 'the .. purple and orange ties marching corated tables. The sound of and singing might have reache i I ched any part of the campus, with such noisy gladness did they start the day. 24 Everyone was on hand for chapel in front of New London Hall to see the planting of the Freshman tree. Fervent were the hopes that the tree would grow sturdy and straight, but perhaps a bit shaky was the faith in botany books which declared a silver maple to have purplish yellow blossoms. No day in June could have been more perfect than that beau- tiful May day. In the afternoon the gymnasium was attractive in the Freshmen colors and the guests enjoyed the cabaret. The different acts were clever, irresistibly funny, or genuinely lovely. A strong affection binding all classes was very evident that after- noon and although commencement time approached, everyone was glad that separation was to be, this year, only for the summer. At midnight the Freshmen sought their sister class and two by two in the mystical, black, soundless night, side by side, 1919 and 1921 clambered down the rocks, across the field, under barbed wire and over the railroad tracks by the uncertain light of two lanterns. There on the beach in the fire-light, the Junior president was given a convoy for the 1919 Submarine. To anni- hilate hot-dogs, tc cheer, and to sing were the only means of ex- pressing surplus enthusiasm, until Dean Nye spoke a few words showing such understanding that, as the procession wound up the hill in the light of the rising moon, each girl seemed to find a greater satisfaction in exclaiming again and again the enthusiastic words, 'just the dearest sport. The end of the year approached. On Memorial Day was a celebration with field sports for sub-Freshmen. The never-to-be- forgotten crew race, picnics, summer plans of farm work or other service helped to hasten the days. Freshmen had their share of banners and pennants, and numerals and letters at the athletic banquet, and proud indeed was '21 of the champions. As they looked back through the college year, the girls of '21 were amazed at what wealth of friendship had been found, what fullness of joy, and of love for the college on the hill by the sea; what depth of experience, and dared they breathe it what a sum of knowledge, had come to them with the swiftly passing days of the freshmen year of 1921.

You aren't new, and you aren't old. To others you have neither the charm of novelty nor the beauty of old and loved associations. Many noble classes have succumbed under the ignominy of it, but not so '21. For Sophomore year was for us a banner yvear. We are particularly lucky in that we were quarantined two days after our arrival in September, with the result that all four classes were so firmly united in the bonds of suffering and seclusion that class distine- SOPHOMORE year in college is traditionally supposed to be tions were forgotten. Misery loves company, and we were all soul-mates. We worshipped Nature and pursued the academic and would have sold our souls to see even a Mary Pickford movie. But with Agnes Leahy as president, it was impossible to sup- port a decent grouch, and we finally divorced it. Agnes' famous laughter had done the trick, and with all the pep of sunshine after a storm we decided to give the Freshmen a party. The dear chil- dren ate lolly-pops, and shouted with glee at our minstrel show. which made the cakewalk famous. Yariety was added to campus life by the gift of palms and the ll:npror-nptu dormitory in the gym. The palms died of shame at being mistaken for clothes-trees, and we nearly died of laughter. We distinguished ourselves in athletics that fall, particularly In soccer, and we were the Proud originators of that delicate cus- tom of devouring hot-dogs at games. Altogether, with the aid gf telephone calls and heavy burdens on the U Q' we managed to enjoy our nunnery, Day time that we saw the bright li celebrated wildly and hilario mail service, Armistice Day was the first ghts of the metropolis. Some of us : usly, others in a more subdued fash 1on i i : bu:.l it was a never-to-be-forgotten day. After strenuous drill ng under Sergeant Selden of the Home G the Peace Day parade, headed by a Kazoo band: and that night we consigned William Hohenzollern to the fiery flames. Quarantine was lifted until Thanksgiving, but after vacation the flu germs took a new lease on life, and we were interred again. In fact, the germs were so rampageous that we were sent home early for Christmas vacation, returning to spend New Year's Eve in poring over the revels of old Pompeii, and New Year's Day in going to classes. The eleventh of January made our reputations, for that was the memorable date of our vaudeville show. The good old farmerette chorus, the knitting-bag chorusenlivened by the element of uncertainty in paper costumes, Pat and Batch in the famous bird stuntwe thrill at the mention of these, our triumphs. But we regretted them sometimes. The knitting-bag chorus was given in at least twelve entertainments for the boys, and trips to the Naval Hospital were more common than trips to New London Hall. Elsie Janis and Her Gang were idlers in com- parison with the '21 Troupe. We pass over mid-years with a mere word. What are these in the review of a college year? Far more important was the fact that, besides being well represented on varsity team, we won the basketball championship. About this time we plunged into a wild orgy among the pop- pies. No, gentle reader, we did not take to opium. We were merely making decorations for the first Sophomore Hop that CEE: ever witnessed. On the afternoon of the hop the gym was transformed, the orchestra about to arrive, many men from Chi- cago, New York, and even New Haven embarking at the station, when information was coldly passed around that the Hop was postponed and the college quarantined for diphtheriall We draw a veil over our unmaidenly rage. Quarantine was no longer to be taken philosophically, we argued. The joke was being carried too far. Hysterics were permitted, the telephone wires hummed, and we worked out our wrath by pulling down the decorations in the gym. On April 4th we enjoyed the Hop just twice as much because of its double expectation, and the next night we repeated our vaudeville show to a packed house. The hit of the evening was made by Dorothy Gregson, the wicked villain in the movie, for she was thrown over the deck-rail to land, not on the salty waves, but upon the nautical cap of the dashing Lieutenant Parker, who 27 e il boat-cloak. ' 5 L BiThe poppies appeared again on the May-baskets, which we hung on the Senior's doors on May-Day morning, and thus endeth all traces of the excitement of Sophomore week-end. On May 3rd the Seniors invited us to tea on.the roof of the Mohicana very festive party, and in the evening we romped through Halt, Cecelia! the first musical comedy. All too soon came the end of the year, and our sister class, the first graduates, left us. Some of us danced for them at thei prom on the Mohican roof, and sang behind a mock stone wall, wondering whether we would ever arrive at the distinction of Seniority. And then we woke up in the morning to find our Sophomore year a memory. We were upper-classmen. OFFICERS 1919-1920 President, Rachel Smith Vice-President, Dorothy Wulf Secretary, Esther Watrous Treasurer, Alice Purtill Historian, Evelene Taylor Cheer Leader, Florence Silver - CLASS HISTORY 1919-1920 ISR AGH S Gom a letter dated April Ist, 1970, written by an alumna, Class of o el e b ar of the Class of 1971. With apologies to Charles Lamb. 'Reader, in thy passage from the campus-where thou hast been recelving great learning as I did likewise at thy tender age to the New I, the waters of the Thames? I dare say thou ha ' st often noted its mighty masts and widespread b . sails. Ah! how graceful and beau- tlf.l.ll she looks her great hull snow white to the water's edge, to shield her better from the pressing tide! l 28 gallantly extricated the surprised Dottie from the folds of his This was once a ship of great state and gaietythe center of much industry and joyousness. A throng of merrymakers gath- ered upon its decks, and here even today, they say, some forms or work and play are still kept up, though many of that first crew have long since passed away. Such is the ship of 1921. At least it was, fifty years ago, when I first boarded ita glorious vessel about to set sail on a long journey of great adventures. How well I remember the crew! They had an airI speak of fifty years backunlike any crew have ever met since. They partook in large measure of the worthiness of that great ship of state. They were for the most part, with the exception of Olive, 'Pat, Peggy, and perhaps another mate or two, sailors of single vision and one outlock. Generally speaking, they were persons of curious and different turn of mind. Old-fashioned, thou might- est call them, 1971, but in their day they were a crew typical of the early '20's. Having been brought together on this good ship in early life, they had become assimilated into one corporate body and soon unitedsby bonds of friendship, love and loyalty. Yea, indeed that was a pleasant, merry company, and not a few of them were proficient in the arts and sciences, while others dis- tinguished the crew in the work of the gymnasium. The Captain at the time was one Smith. She hailed from the Jersey country, so they said, and right heartily was she beloved by the crew with whom she was setting sail. Well do I recall that day, early in the voyage, when, standing upon the forward deck, she clasped the little dog 'Pep' to her breast and, kissing him fondly, murmured words of farewell into hif little black and white ears. Then into the arms of Captain Al of the good ship 1920, who had boarded our vessel for the occasion, she restored 'Pep, crying out passionately, Take him! Keep him! But, for gcodness sake, don't let the Tomas get him!' First mate under Smith was a certain Wulf, and if my mem- ory does not fail me, she excelled in the sport of games. Often did she clear those decks in the early morning hours and call all hands to in a game of bowling or batting. Perhaps, 1971, thy mother may remember the old game of hockeya sport quite popular among all seafarers of our age, for it helped to pass away the many long hours of our voyage. Indeed, so popular did this game become that it was often customary for us to challenge the crews of ships sailing near us. It was upon such an occasion that 29 we won from the crew of the good ship 1920, before mentioned, by a score of three points as opposed to a score of two points, But such gambling with the fates of the game was sure to bring ill fortune, and it was not long ere gloom enshrouded our bark. It was on a day before the Sabbath, too, in a game of sctccer, a sp?rt often favored by our elders, that the crew met with unhappiness. The sorrow and gloom of that day is too griev- ous to relate! : Bu-t the good ship sailed gallantly ahead, filling her sails with e:zzhtlvm:l:.

How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the mystic Branford halls, While the underclassmen wrinkle up their noses With a crinkle that bespeaks green Envy's palls!

We never succeeded in vocal attempts, but we sing it mentally just the same. The salt is particularly prominent on the notable occasions of Faculty-Senior games, when Dean Nye leads the Faculty cheering sec- tion with all the abandon of a prep-school con- tortionist; and there is no denying her rare sense of humor. Think of the Junior-Senior luncheon and That reminds me of a story. The sweet- ness is always evidentjust ask Branford girls about tea-pantries or Dean Nye's teas. And the unusual compound, for which no common name has ever been invented, is just our Dean Nye. She gives some of the most inspiring and entertaining talks in the world; she keeps alive on campus the old pioneer spirit; and she can make you love Greek! 35 MISS ORIE SHERER She is a real member of 21for it was in September, 1917, that Miss Orie Wesson Sherer Carrived and landed on her feet in the Fine Arts room of New London Hall. She wears a fur coat and a very winning smile, and a remarkably tailored silk beaver hat in the winter; and stock collars and tan smocks in the class-room. And in North Cottagewell North Cottagers know Just how domestic their adored house-fellow ca apron. Miss Sherer also serves on committees-thou- sands of them. But there is one unbaptized com- mittee of which she js the unofficial chairman, and that is the hDWthaH-Wc-chGTilht-tht'-gyn'l committee. She has proved herself the nal answer, Groups of candles in rious laurel garlands, these ideas are hers too! And now three facts n be in a large spotted eter- a row, luxu- fruits for dccorntion,-.lll and they are good ones, A in closing; she has an Alpine hat with feathers from the Abercrombie- and Fitch chicken yard, Boston is her favorite city,next to New London : and she is adored by her class-mates of 1921, 36 MISS EDNA BLUE And here we have Miss Edna Mitchell Blue, than whom there is no whom-er. One of the greatest distinctions that 21 can boast is that Miss Blue is a startlingly active member of our class. Our Sophomore vaudeville show, our teams, musical comedies, our sartorial affecta- tions, nay, even our speechall bear an unmis- takably blueish tinge. Furthermore, we suspect her of having committed the unpardonable sin of starting the bobbed-hair mania. Her sporting principle, that it isn't who wins, but kow they win, takes its rightful place among the few often- repeated words of wisdom by which we try to steer ourselves, and her enthusiasm and energy are treasured inspirations. They say the traffic officer at Forty-second Street and Fifty Avenue, New York, once held up traffic for five minutes to talk to her about her work at Hudson Guild. Solomon could do no better. Five minutes of conversation with our Blue-Bird and you know what she brings is worth perpetual physical paralysis. 37 S BARBARA ASHENDEN How doth the busy little B Improve each shining hour? Barbara's undaunted enthusiasm will under- take anything from exploding sulphur bombs in New London Hall to bravely eating spaghetti in hames. On committees she is the jack-of-all- trades-and-ideas, and a certainty where othvrf fRilShelovas garlands of old fashioned roses, ut we fear that her gardens are hot-beds of chemistry experiments, instead of the more con- ventional greenleaf.

C. wind, rain and hail, cannot blow off or wash off Louise's smile. Nor can that same brand of wind, rain and Lail mar the jolly, friendly nature that backs up the smile. Louise simply jams her hat on moie securely, lowers her purple umbrella, and hails you from beneath the dripping edges with an undauntedly cheerful Hello! Louise peruses great philosophers and phileso- phies; and gets the right answer to tricky cal- culus problems; and misses the Groton ferry at least once a day, but still keeps serene about it all. She intends to work her math. off on the world, but privately we sometimes wonder if she wouldn't make a better, or, anyway, just as good, a reporter. For Louise has a penchant for news. She seeks it out, and once found, she keeps the bit herself as if it were a rare gem of King Croesus. But, she does keep it tight; no one ever finds out anything of harmful gossip from Louise. She is non-committal to the nth degree she simply smiles. 39 LAURA BATCHELDER Batch's greatest sorrow in life is that Miss rnst's invariable greeting is How do you dol How's your sister? However, even though Big Batch had truly a remarkable career, 'Little Bateh is not our idea of an anti-climax-rather she is the finishing touch to the glory of the Batchelder family, She has played on every '21 team for four years, and captained many of them. Her bcwitching smile has been an invaluable ad- dition to vaudeville shows and musical comedies and even fairy-tale Pantomimes, and she has alled many an office with responsibility and great Yenown. She is the greatest living exponent of the ''Let's get a system to this theory, and she has proved that theories do work. is the eighth wonder of the world, ably c.'.ear-thinking mind the ninth, and her great service to women's reputation the tenth.

But she doesn't believe in worry- ing her fresh bloom of health away by overwork with the midnight oil, and we take off our hats to anyone who can serenely enjoy Lillian Gish on the evening before three of her stiffest exams. The serene one Las more hats and sweaters than any other one girl in college, and she alternates both in the most colorful fashion. Marion didn't kave to run around tke table at Senior banquet, for from her Freshman year everybody knew that she was destined to spend her declining years somewhere in the west at some solemn Chapel, tastefully cluttered with silk lampshades, painted boxes, carved book- ends, frail taborettes and pillows. 41 SR i LA 5 5 AN e GLADYS BEEBE We wonder where Gladys goes so many week- ends, slipping out of class with a fur coat and a bag, to catch that uncertain Norwich trolley. here must be some strong attraction up in that northerly direction. here is no doubt in Gladys likes to dance. She h; faithful supporters of .:0:13'5 mind that s been one of the dances from Freshman Year to Senior prom, And why, considering the week-ends, does she take a different man to every dance? She is :insvpnrabfy connected in our minds with a Plant victrola, and two sway- ing, sidling figures, tightly clutched other's arms. Although Gladys never tries her hand at the art of versifying, her mere presence on the campus has inspired a popular and oft- heard dormitory vell, Oh, G!adkd-y, with a falling diminuendo on the y. 42 in each ANNA MAE BRAZOS Anna Mae is one of those 'little, but oh, my personsthe kind you can't get along without. Student Government and Service League have found her an invaluable asset, and she is in con- stant demand for every show on campus. Her athletic career shows her true character,the steadiness that gives you breath to say, Now we're all right, when Anna Mae goes tearing up the field. Her steadiness on the farm made her one of the 'Storey Specialties, but what was it that gave her such popularity with the farmer's sons, who never even gave her a chance to eat her dinner in peace? Certainly it was not her far-famed sleepiness! She really is a sleepy mortal, you know. It's like moving the rock of Gibraltar to wake her up for six o'clock practices, but we suspect that she merely sleeps late so that she won't get so hungry! For Anna Mae went the Fat Table one better and eats only one meal a day. 43 CATHERINE C. CONE Cash has the sweetly serene countenance of an arckangel, blissfully swinging on a Aeecy cloud far above this world of cares and perplexi- ties. But Catharine is a very human person, with a very kuman penchant for good times, and dancing, even on a sprained ankle, With tke aid of the s the throats of all good House Presidents, she Las sluskingly guided Blackstone through the years of 20 and '2j.

Neither does a peek through her keyhole, late at night, reveal any- thing save a dark room and curtains swaying gently in the night breeze. Even a breath-taking pursuit of the soccer ball cannot disarrange a single stray lock from her immaculate coiffure. But her neatness may prove her chief sorrow, for true to the law of the attraction of opposites, tea-leaves presage a dark man with a crooked collar, closely linked with Laura's destiny. However, Laura will ever valiantly strive to set the 'crooked straight. As President of the History Club, she long ago learned the value of conferences, and we feel sure that if the dark man only gives her a chance, Laura will do splendid conference with her own history majors, even as she has been done by. 45 NELLIE ENGLISH Is one of those rare creatures, a blonde who can wear brown and look well in it She has the added rarity, among us frailer creatures at least, of silence. Everyone admits the studious trend of her mind, but no one has ever heard her say, SRS s or that thing. Rather does she submit a thoughtful, Don't you think so? or What do you think about it? Until this year Nellie has complained of hav- ing to miss things here, but now she is an enthusiastic supporter or spectator of everything that happens. Contrary to her Eng'ish name. Nellie majors in Frenchmajors with a big M, for she knows her book. e feel sure that Nellie will go about her out-in-the-world life in as wasteless and quietly efficient manner as that in which she about the pursuit of er every good thing er, as gone knowlcdge: and we wish that can possibly come to 46 MILDRED K. FENELON Mildred has a very unusual record in C. C., having never been guilty of cutting a class. She puts pep' into everything she undertakes, and at one time, when preparing a delicious am- brosia in the Dietetics Lab, she put in an over- dose of pep and actually brought t ars to the eyes of her unpitying instructor. Only once has she been weighed in the bal- ance and found wanting. Her enjoyment turned to terror in Cheer Leaders' Class when the students were called upon one by one to lead a cheer. Unable to endure the suspense she fled from the gym as though pursued by waving-armed demons! She has an extroardinary conscience which never allows her to leave undone one thing which she should have done. Seemingly always serene and quiet, she has beneath it all an every- ready store of dry wit and humor. 47 ANNA FLAHERTY Anna's motto must be, Ready, aye, ready, for no one ever succeeded in finding her lacking a ready come-back to any observation, be it in German, French, Spanish, orof course, Eng- lish. Anna also has a sizable supply of phrases from Auld Erin which she will produce when coaxed. And did you ever find her regarding you with steadily widening eyes, until it seemed that hu- manyeyefsockets could expand no farther, We might suggest though, that in spite of its deadly efficiency, the baby stare is going out, and Anna should cultivate a more subtle, drooping- lidded gaze. Her chief fame at C. C. has.besn won through her clever portrayal of somebody else, Le Bourgeois, or The Himuc of the Hot Fuj Isle, for example. But her many friends have been won through being herself, jolly, quick- witted and friendly. 48 ABBY C. GALLUP In everything, from her circumspect hair-comb to her maiden meditation, Abby, left to her own devices, is about as deliberate as molasses on a strike. Even the Art Department has learned not to expect Abby to do too many things in too short a time. But that same department has also discovered that she possesses more than ordinary talent, and can, if not hurried, turn out darn good oil paintings, and wholly nice designs that are quite capable of winning prizes or being sold. However, some thoughtless souls, quite un- consciously, took all the fun out of Abby's last college year by presenting her with the Editor- ship of The News. There are perhaps only two other things that she more thoroughly laments: the lack of time for exercise, and the shortness of the New England nights! Still The News has been a very worthy sheet and has won the gen- eral approbation of both students and faculty. And Abby has a limitless sense of humor and a true appreciation of human beings, particularly instructors, so we feel sure that she will have a fine time out in the world and be a huge artistic and social success. 49 - m HATTIE GOLDMAN If you owe Hattie tkat twenty-nine cents for your Literary Digest, you had better borrow it from your needy friends rather than let it go unpaid. It doesn't do any good to sneak to and from classes, or crawl about the dining room on all fours, because she'll be sure to catch you at the peanut automatic at the book-store counter. And if you finally decide to sever your jugular vein with your ever-safety Gillette, that won't spite Hattie because she'll probably be at the Golden Gate before you, collecting admission fees. All this means that Hattie is one of our best business women, and has the gentle art of cajoling wyour pennies from you down to a science, Nor do her efforts stop at pennies. At getting advertisements, as Business Manager of The News, for fall goodslatest styles, from town merchants, Hattie is nothing short of superhu- man. Although Hattie's pastime is History, her in- It:a.rest in indoor sports lies more in the dental ine. e won't say love, however, because what does Hattie know of such things? 50 DOROTHY GREGSON Oh, boy , as a passwordin a tone of joy, sorrow or wrathushers our little Dottie Greg in anywhere, for she has played a most success- ful role in '21's modern Comedy of Errors. From the moment of her entrance upon the stage of C. C. in Act I, it was a case of love at first sight, for no one could resist the little maid in the little red tam and sweater. As the first class president; on the hockey field; on the gym stage, where she gained howling suc- cess as a movie villain, she won our hearts even more completely. Acts Il and Il found her counciling, fiddling with the Mandolin Club, taking art prizes, 'serving with Service League, and even clogging. Until the year of '2I brought Dottie out as Student Government Presi- dent. And she will rise, there will be no denoument to this play, for Dottie will always be at the heights, even long after she leaves us-always, that is, unless she stoops to making puns at her usual astonishing rate of speed! And her great- est capacity, that for true friendship and loyalty, will give her first place in the hearts of all who know her. 51 ELEANOR W. HAASIS The Bookstore Lady and The Mystery Girl is this fairy-like creature with hair all a-curl. She's tiny in size but in might not a bit, and in hockey and art she has made quite a hit. She goes early to bed but is ready to rise and flit to the book- store to silence our cries. The mystery's this there has gone from her dresser the much-adored Picture of the dorm's heart-depressor. When asked where it's gone, this impertinent creature, will only reply with a grimace of feature. 52 CHARLOTTE HALL Charlotte's cheerful energy as book-store man- ager, and as Class Secretary, quite disproves: How happy the life unembarrassed by the cares of business. Such adjectives as serene, dig- nified, calm, unruffled, have often been applied to this valient member of 21, but we know bet- ter. We have seen Charlotte fussed and actually blushing, like any other ordinary human being. And Charlotte may keep the lower part of her face under strict control, but oh, she jus: can't make her eyes behave as they should to support the dignified, calm and serene' statement above. In her attack on an untractable soccer ball, and on delinquent book-purchasers alike, Char- lotte is efficiency and persistence personified, But she has a deep, full voice for the choir, and we wonder why she never thought to wile the delinquent ones to her book-bower and, by the power of song, wring from their reluctant pock- ets the price of that book which they had or- dered, but never found time to purchase. We feel that the combination of the beauty of tones, and the strength of her presence could do almost the impossible. 53 JOSEPHINE HALL Jo is as conscieatious in her pastimes as in her studies, and doesn't mind dedicating half a night to either. She is one of those people who prowl about with a whal-hathfnighl-to-dn-wilh-!'rrpu expression. Her main diversion is lurking about the halls or interpreting the flowers that bloom in the spring tra-la on a light but fantastic toe. Her cordial warmth and hospitality are well known to Branford girls, who are sleek and shin- ing exponents of the mission of the oatmeal cracker. In spite of the fact that she and numerous v has taken many acations during her college ca- reer, Jo is ultra-conscientious in her work, and right there if you are ever in need of a friend or a hot-water bottle, 54 DOROTHY L. HENKLE For the essence of genialty and hospitality we would all nominate 'Dot. When anyone is blue or downcast, Dottie comes along in her cheerful way and before one realizes she is smiling again. Ever since C. C, opened its doors to 1921 we have known Dot, who is one of thosz irresistible people who comes tumbling into our hearts like the very 'Punchinello she played. Her rapid rise to fame in the annals of the Dramatic Club was all too well deserved. However, it is not a question of deserving when one cons over the humerous and enlightening experiences that Dot has managed to encounter in her car. These various auto experiences only lend charm to her conversation, for, through them, she always Las some funny tale of woe to relate. The most dreadful things happsn to her, but no one could possibly enjoy them more than she herself does. Maybe, some day, she will feel inspired to put them into prose, or better, poetry. 515 o n JENNIE HIPPOLITUS Is tiny, but still was one of the five sporting celebrities of 21 to receive the old English C for excellence in athletics.' But Jennie loves the academic, and is particularly at home over l the mystic rites of H20 and H2504; and in the l zoo will dissect anything from an Amoeba, of : l which there is nothing to dissect, to an elephant of which there is a great deal. And when it comes tostomach tubes! That's her favorits in- door sport, and the things are right at home in Jennie, We have sometimes wondered if the people who haunt her doorway refrain from en- tering because of fear of treading upon some insect pet. But like all good Zoologists, Jennie keeps her specimens in long, glass jars, ennie has long hopes of entering Yale Med- ical School and excl anging her Amoeba re- searches for something more human. Per- sonally we suggest that looking into the prop- erties of biscuits and giving someone a chance at the result, would be more in Jennie's sphere. But if a doctor she would be, we wish her a great fleal of success and a great many 'inter- esting patients. 56 DEBORAH JACKSON Deborah accent on the first syllable, please, is '21's original nut brown maiden'; which means that she has merry, live eves, and a clear glowing skin that fairly shouts long hikes, wind, and snow-ball fights. Still, Deb is by no means a vagrant. Encased in a leather apron, she spends at least two-thirds of her time in the Chemistry and Zoology Laboratories, and delves deeply into the mystic lore of acids and earth- worms. The other third of her days are wiled away in running down the hockey feldto great advantage; wishing that three more were present for five-hundred; and answering knocks which bring the apologetic request, Got an American, Deb? for Deborah always has the latest magazine, and is most obligingly unselfish with it. We might suggest that if after graduation no work in the Chemistry or Zoology Labs. appeals to Deborah, she can find continued employment posing as the little girl who accompanies Camp- bell Soup advertisements. 57 MARGARET M. JACOBSON When two or three are grllhcrud logr-lh:'r and the discussion is under way, Peg can be counted upon to lift her wvoice in no uncertain tones, whether the subject be Enlightened Selfishness' or the Relative Values of Pebeco, Kolynos or Pyrodento. In spite of her broad brow and her tendency to follow the most profound though to its farthest limit, Peg's aspirations are divided between the Brooklyn Eagle and Mr. Zieg- feld. We're placing our bets on Mr. Ziegfeld, in the Monday Eveni: z Dancing Class Peg points a wicked toe. Whichever way she goes, Peg's Dutch ancestry will stand her in good stead. One can always count on the round blue eye and the wooden shkoe to win. Reminiscently speaking, we have found Peg a sincere thinker, a lively comrade, and a good friend, 58 AGNES LEAHY Our Agnes of the contagious laughter and the bubbling wit! One of the greatest blessings that the Good Fairy ever brought was the trans- planting of 'Agonies from Norwich to the second-floor Branford, and the only thing we have against her is the suspicion that it is she who aroused Dottie Greg's dormant abilities as a punster. Agnes' worth was realized early in her col- lege career, and we promptly made her our sec- ond Class President. Since then she hasn't had a moment's notice. She is as indispensable as a vacuum cleaner to a housewife. Her chief forte even though she hates it! is money- raising, and her splendid work for the Central European drive is a monument and a shining ex- ample of sincere and conscientious effort. Ago- nies is an English sharkshe dreams in terms of Hazlitt; she sees life as one long series of re- versals and climaxes and dramatic act-endings; and she is one of those rare specimens upon whom Dr. Wells bestows A's. But still she's not so literary as to be inhuman, and one of our most vivid college memories is of our Roam- ing Romeo, the heart-breaker. 59 I i l LOUISE FRANCIS LEE Louise kas won considerable distinction by completing Ler college course in two yvears. It takes a clever girl to be a Freshman one year, and astonish the community by ker Senior dig- nity the next. Always smiling and gracious, or pleasantly thoughtful, is Louise, as she hurries from Greek to History, to Latin, to the New York train. But have you ever heard her comments as to the sensibility of people who go rushing noisily into their neighbor's rooms at unearthly hours of the morning? This question was asked us; personally we haven't ever heard her make an unkind, even deserved, comment on anyone, and we don't believe she is that kind of a girl, Louise's second, and Senior vear, has been cuite devoted to a study of the noble Red Man. SRRl S dians are at such a dreadful distance' from civilization that while following a leg not forget that there j in the country. 60 We would suggest al career, she should s only one Indian lawyer JEANETTE LETTNEY Tis said of Jeanette that she 'commences only to begin again,on another phase of life, of course. Which means that she will lead all '21's followers of Hymen to the love god's altar. She is a 'rosy-cheeked, winsome lassie, with an extraordinarily capable managing ability. She manages the mail, and Branford, both un- tractable charges. At the opening of '20 Jean- ette walked frowningly,Branford was head- strong, but of later days she decided to let it gang its own gait and seek its own salvation, she would thenceforth enjoy life. She has a cheery hello-o for everyone, even though the morn is early, or she can greet with Bon Jour just as graciously. Of course we wish her all happiness, and white, starchy aprons, rows of shining pans, pol- ished tables and many green things growing about. for that is the atmuspherc that best ex- presses Jeanette, the housewife, as well as Jean- ette the laughing, jolly comrade. 61 --..- ,.. OLIVE N. LITTLEHALES Olive is that most bewitching of feminine crea- tions: one who has a definitely working brain but never lets it get into evidence except in classeswkich is quite the proper place for it She can concoct a chapeau there are hats and chapeaux out of a strainer and a half yard of silk, with maybe a bunch of flowers for orna- ment. She can make adorable place-cards, or desks sets, or applique curtains, or class poems and songs, or play hockey, or conduct a Christ- mas party, or discuss any phase of Psycho- Analysis, Plato's Republie, Lester Ward, Arthur Pinero, or DeQuiney, or flag the 5:50 C. V. trainall without a qualm. She was one of C. C.'s first converts to bobbed hair, but decided that a four-cornered cap on gaily flying hair would not breathe the essence of Senior dignity, However, friends and the god of beauty prevailed and again Olive's hair curls unconfined. She herself admits that this wouldn't truly rep- resent her if M wasn't mentioned. But here are fields wherein even the chaste hand of art Ekaisi'not venture. So, bon voyage, Oliveand 62 MARION LYON A far-off shrick; a sidling, becostumed, and probably grinning, entrance upon a stage; or best of all, a cry of prayer, Oh Lord, send me a man, would seem to introduce Marion to a wondering observer. She might come with a burst of fiendish song, or with a rare and pon- derous solution of a Math. problem, but it would be Marion all the same. And all men who part the covers of this book and gaze herein, take heed, for Marion is golden opportunitywith a big 0. She has majored in Dietetics and Mathematics and can therefore cook for you and manage your pay envelope. She can give you a good vaudeville show at any time, for, though fashioned on the usual human lines, Marion can so distort herself and her golden locks, that she becomes too superbly ridiculous to be true. Besides this artistic abil- ity, she has the gentle science of decision culti- vated to an almost infallible degree. She is ever willing to lend a helping hand, a hand that takes hold of things and makes a success of them. 63 LYDIA JANE LORD MARVIN Do you know that contagious, 'bubbling laugh that sets the echoes ringing in the dining- hall, above the clatter and chatter of C. C.'s as- tronomic achievements; and in like manner above the whiz and whistle of our friend and almest constant companion, the wind? You laven't been long at college if you don't. Lydia's good spirits are hardly to be suppressed even in classes or at vespers, and when she sinp;n we hold our breath and marvel at the clearness and power of her high notes. Needless to say she has always been a tower of strength to the choir. Art is her avocation, but a lone crust in an attic does not somehow appeal, so Lydia applies herself to Math. as being more remunerative even though more prosaic. Basket-ball is her favorite sport and as a center '2 is indeed proud of her. Wasn't she, a Sophomore, chkosen for our first and last Varsity team? an im- pressive and ablc goal-kecppr. Mnrvln has no peers, her one thought being to keep the ball moving,in the other direction. There is won- dlerful capacity for lasting friendship in Lydia; sincerity and frankness are virtues to be com.- mended, but sometimes we wish that the stocks and pillnry were still legal forms of 64 punishment. ETHEL MASON Is a person for 'facts; no fairy journeys into the land of couldnt it be or supposition for Ethel. We all found that out in 17 when, with no embarrassment whatsoever, she announced that she would major in Histery. Since that year History majors lave come, and History majors have gone, but Ethel had remained faith- ful to her Freshman decision. She has a dis- tinct fondness for animals and would most cer- tainly have taken to mourning for all our can- ine and feline departed, had it not been for the fact that there have been so many deaths that she felt it incompatible with her pursuit of dates, Historical wars and treaties, to mourn for them all, equally, and could not decide to choose only one and neglect the others. She has made various teams and displayed remarkable skill and agility in swinging a hockey stickbelow the shoulderand in following a coyly bouncing ball down the soccer field. Her cheerful humor is never absent, and all round she has been a distinct addition to 21. 65 R P ELLA McCOLLUM An inhabitant of Mansfield Depot, more com- monly referred to as just outside of Williman- tic. - The gods were kind and just to her, for in distributing their gifts and graces, they boun- tifully showered her with Personality and Char- acter. But among all these gifts, one stands out predominately: the gift of Morpheus-Sleep. Yes, 'tis said that at nine-thirty nightly, including Sundays, Morpheus enters the sanctity of her room and by his magic pressure, carries her far into the land of dreams. During her waking hours, however, her books take up most of her time. Mathematics is a dear friend, but more often is she found busily engaged with Chemistry or Dietetics, for these are also favored subjects. She is a Plantite, and like the rest of her consorts she likes to trip the light fantastic. And she trips it very well indeed, and sup- ports all dancing,even natural, . She plans to go on doing research, of some sort, or work in a laboratory, but we feel that, in lieu of the attention to the above-mentioned subjects, that Ella has other plans in mind, us. And we don't know vet! 66 only won't tell RUTH B. McCOLLUM Ruth spends endless hours in the various labs of the college, in this she is like her sister, and though majoring in Chemistry, she has proved her ability to tell the recipe for every dish served in Thames Hall; quite aside from the fact that she possesses a goodly siore of odd knowledge about calories and proper wall and floor dimensions. All the time not thusly engaged, is employed in obligingly keeping her victrola wound up, or in proudly exhibiting her four years memory kook. Judging by the number of souvenirs and the size of the volume, it might well be a relic of the time of Charlemagne. It might be a good idea to look therein for the missing orange spoons, or the latest stolen mascot,not that Ruth would appropriate such things, but the book looks as if it might contain almost anything. But Ruth's chief and most valued possession is her Zoo cats, monkeys, lions, dogs, pigs, live together in the most domestic peace and harmony. Speak- ing of peace and harmony, Ruth finds Plant much more conducive to a pursuance of these prop- erties than Thames proved to be. 67 ROSE MEYROWITZ With her short, thick, black hair, Rose looks like the personified edition of the Soul of the Russian Revolution, but in reality there isn't a Bolshevist thought in her whole shapely head even though the professor in Sophomore Eco- nomics did try, unsuccessfully, to convince Rose that she was a socialist. Rose knew better, and steadily refused to be convinced. The most dangerous weapon with which she ever appears abroad is a long, black case containing a violin. She spends all her spare time in the labora- tory: no, not manufacturing bombs, but trying persistently to make one little seed sprout both peas and beans, or lettuce and cucumbers, or something like that, at the same time. Distinctly she loves the soil, and all that grows therein, and we feel that we can wish her nothing more fitting than acres of rich black land, or at least a sand box. 68 ROBERTA NEWTON Bobby is about Ave feet, and glorified by a Titian Halo, which has been the eternal aggra- vation of all women-haters; she has a three- cornered, cock-hat smile and can do everything from reading Plautus down to making block prints. Moreover, Bobby can playshe has a handshake with jazz that can make the furniture jump, she can paint, and who will doubt that it is not Art for Art's sake! But perhaps it is at the more subtle art of making friends that Bobby is most gifted. But as President of the Dramatic Club Bobby and personality in the memory of plays given under her supervision. Of these, perhaps, the three musical comedies were a culmination of her artistic and musical ability. Although Bobby tells us often of the Scotch heathers, C. C, is sure that all the banks and braes o bonnie doon could not boast of one such vibrant and exotic personality. 69 e e e e RUTH ALLEN PATTEE There's no doubt about it, Ruth is artistic, startlingly so, a devotee of the new school which does not teach such minor details as color har- mony. Hence, she roams serenely in a ros lined coat, a red tam, and an orange tie. All that! and all at once. Pattee would make a very colorful addition to the after-dinner-story page of any popular magazine, for she is a ver- itable Thkat reminds me' person. Her room is a gallery of choice bits of literature and such trite advice as Don't let the same bee sting you twice'' greets the eye, as one enters or exits. All four-legged animals,dogs, horses, or even bearsare her particular friends. With a horse under her, or a dog bounding about her she doesn't have to feign an expression of pure rapture. She has a steady brown gaze and a een pen, which has revived, for campus awak- ening, those ancient Renaissance days when Savanarola smashed treasured golden images on the gay streets of Florence. But she has a most enjoyable style, and as a News scribe has done much to raise the paper to L its present popu- larity. 70 H. MARGUERITE PAUL Her long golden hair has undoubtedly been o colored by the aura of golden light that shone upon her nightly as she stayed up till the wee small hours of the morniag, in an effort to find time to study, for as she always said, l must do this math toaight, for I havea't done a speck of work this year. Her one assay at dramatics was a failure from the standpoint of Romeo, for when it came to the thrilling balcony scene, the luckless swain, alias Arvilla, received not the plighted troth of his fair lady, but the contents of a glass of water, thrown with as accurate an aim as that dis- played by any doughboy who ever tossed a hand grenade, This past year she has joined The News ranks have you, gentle reader, noticed with what a compassionate tone we speak of those unfortu- nate recruits but shows no delinquency in get- ting her assignments in on time. And under the guidance of her well-wishing room-mate, she retires earlier, sto Marguerite's four years have not been by any means wasted or unprofitable. 71 . MILDRED PIERPONT We have with usthe child. She is quite a budding young artist and is capable of making rather charming scrafita work designs, and green leaves and orange flowers. Perhaps this latter talent comes from her secondary interest in Botany and all the world's big out-of-doors all but cows. A soft-eyed bovine in her path will, any day, send Mildred up the nearest sapling. However, she would thus prove herself a pretty good cattleman, for on horseback she could face a legion of these animals, and never shed even one golden hair. Mildred was a very efficient and would try any assignment on terviewing faculty, She may not be the youngest member' pres- ent, but she surely does look the part, even in the aging black cap and gown that she donned regularly every Sunday evening for Mildren was one of the faithful eleven. 72 News reporter, ce,except in- vespers. DOROTHY M. PRYDE The Class of 1921 is certainly fortunate in having as one of its members a person whose name gives us that quality which leads us on to success. Never in one instance have we left pryde out of our eventswhether scholastic or social. As a student Dot excelsespecially when it comes to Math., and her work as Presi- dent of the Math. Club is kighly commended. Furthermore, she is Leader of the Discussion Group and has striven mighty hard to get this organization on a good working basis. This rather sounds as if Dot was an unusually seri- ous individual, doesn't it? Well, she isn't. She is one of the best sports '21 has. If you want the soccer ball kicked down to the goal post, or if the forward line of the hockey team wants the ball, Dot is always there to send it. But the title good sport includes more than skill in athletics when applied to her. It includes that which we look for and demand in a friend that is sincerity. With such qualities, Dot will gain success in all she undertakes, not only for herself but also for the class of 1921. 73 ALICE PURTILL Al is one of us who didn't need four years to reach the top notch of '21's estimation, but we are glad we have had her with us even three, to show us what C. C. spirit, which she has had from the beginning, can be like. Basket-ball seems to be her forte, and while everyone around her is flustered, Alice remains calm and serene, never failing to get the ball or to send it to the right place. But start to tease her, or to tell her a wild yarn, and you will find her the most gullable and blushing of maidens! We haven't an idea how she got The Day to keep her name out of the Get-Thin-Club list, and realizing that she is too modest to have it put in print herself, we cannot resist telling that she was the great encouraging victim of this select societythough we will figures. 74 quote no LORETTA ROCHE Where, oh, where, have our prizes gone? Why ask? Loretta is a member of '21,and a much loved and 'prized member at that. When we see how easily she assumes the role of French or Spanish linguist, or raises the score in basket-ball, volley ball and tennis, we are positively green with envy. Speaking of green, have you ever noticed Loretta's eyes? They are green, the mark of true genius does the pro- longed withdrawal of library books also serve as a mark of genius? but we like green eyes and left profiles, and overlook missing books. With Loretta as President, the Literary Club has had a most enjoyable and interesting year. and has delved deep into the lore of Abdullah, Bennet, and MODERN poetry. There are few girls at C. C. who have not gone to Loretta for help of one sort or anothera puzzling translation, advice as to books, the proper way to serve a ball, for she serves a mean ball Also, in secret, she writes charming verse, but here's where we must stop, for Loretta is very shy with that verse, and tries to keep it a dark secret from all but a few chosen confidents, but good things will outso here's the truth in print. 75 FLORENCE SILVER Sliv'the personification of eternal fem- initya woman of infinite variety. On the stage she is more original than the original Fiji- Islander it has taken centuries of cultivation to produce hair like that, but on State Street she locks like a Vogue fashion-plate out for an air- ing. To be sure, we can't deny that Sliv's clothes have originality. Think of the dress with the coy little hood and the Great Bear Coat! With the exception of her touching rendition of Beautiful Ohio, Sliv's greatest claim to fame is her two years' service as cheer leader. She shows more pep and action than a high-strung Mercer roadster, and her ideas for sings are un- surpassed. Sliv'' may have all the pep in the world now, but the gay night-life of Branford will eventually wear her out, and she has two weaknesses that forecast a placid, domestic fu- ture. She will 'sit 6n a cushion and sew a fine seam, and feed upon strawberries, sugar and cream, meanwhile revelling in ideas for icy, jade-green room decorations. 76 RACHEL SMITH Ray is tall and is one of the best clothes-racks on campus. She dances as though it were her life-work, plays, paints, writes, plays on teams, and still finds time to be a professional com- mittee member and a guest at every party on campus. Although we are told that it is the Follies Ray would qualify for, our own private opinion is that she would be more in her ele- ment as a Midnight Rounder. Ray, moreover, has the enviable reputation of holding more offices and having more friends than any other girl in college. In offices she has long been the Delphic Oracle of Council, and as Class President in 1920 she was a veritable Good Fairy herself; she has edited Koine, led cheers, and filled any number of other offices with the rare combination of ability, judgment and pep. As for her friendswhich one of us is not? We suspect Ray of being one of the best-loved and most-missed of our Seniors. 77 EVELENE TAYLOR A cheerful grin, a swinging stride, fAying hair, lips eager to relate the latest edition of her pro- gressive collection of Never Ceasing Faux Pas, Each Warranted To Be Funnier Than The Last. There wouldn't be any use trying to tell about the first volumes of this series, but if you ask Spunk about them, she will begin with a laugh and gladly tell you about any particular one you want to know about. As Service League President, Silver Bay and Des Moines delegate, Christadora worker, and untiring social worker at all times, her unquench- able spirits have been of immense value. We never could do without her. And as a sample, just listen to the story about the Sophomore Hop man. At the end of the dance, Evelene put him into the upholstered bus, told the driver where to 80, and came up to Branford alone, with sense of relieved responsibility. Perhaps some day, when college worries are over, Spunk's hair will begin to grow, and per- haps she will some day accustom her chin to chill winter winds. But no changes could ever endear her to us more than have her own cheery friendliness and big-heartedness. 78 a great h; ESTHER H. WATROUS Swattie could never be mistaken for a labor- saving device, but her long procession of As does justice to her midnight orgies. She has one little peculiarity,doubtless you've encountered it,she can never refrain from dragging unwilling souls back to the painful path of duty. whether they will or no. No one who has even a speaking acquaintance with her gets a fair and sguare chance of going astray. For Swattie has a non-conformist con- science. After a detai'ed survey of the cata- logue she decided to seek solitude in Greek and Latin, and solitude she found, but revelled in it. As Senior Class President, Swattie has met every ideal of justice and fair-mindedness. She can always be counted on, in or out of office, as a loyal friend. E:ld a person Of i rEadth Of mind and charity. 79 El e e e W RUTH WILSON Ruth came to us from Mount Holyoke, but it did not take her long to become so perfectly acclimated to Our Hill that we sometimes feel she is a part of the climate. Certainly some traces of her, such as C. C. Blues and Then Here's to Dear C. C., will last as long as do our rains and our sunshine, and the long lines of lower-classmen admirers who gather 'round her door prove her worth. Ruth has been one of our star athletes, and is particularly scintillating when wielding the racquet. But her strong point is the good old ukelele. Her rhythms are as irresistible as a circus parade calliope to a small boy, and her armonies as shiveringly subtle as the breeze in the palm trees. Paul Whiteman has been after her'for'al year, but she sticks to the Uke Club she knows a good orchestra when she hears it! 80 -,: - T - DOROTHY WULF To 'Dot-and-Anna Mae that combination almost as famous as Rose-and-Olive goes the rare distinction of having roomed together amic- ably for four years. And a member of the fac- ulty accused Dot of developing a crush on Anna Mae during her Senior year! What next! Dot's really quite a girll Her athletic ability is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Everyone knows that. She makes goals in hockey with all the nonchalence of Solomon adding another wife to his harem. In fact, half the time she's so absent-minded about it that she thinks she's. playing baseball and knocks 'em in for a home run, thereby holding up the game for several minutes. She can't resist playing soccer even in Branford halls what's a broken fire-alarm to her more than a good chance for exercise?, and as President of the Athletic Association she's a wonder. Lately we're discovering all sorts of interesting things about Dot. She has latent musical and artistic talent to rival ths best of us; she has heavy interests in Gales Ferry; and, Mon Doo, she's bobbed her hair! 81 THERE'S A COLLEGE ON THE HILL BY THE SEA A FEW OF OUR HAS BEENS THOSE, WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE. HEARTS AND DIAMONDS is quite apt to be a cluster of diamonds, and wethe few who still uphold the 1921 Banner of the Blue Stocking hereby shed a printed tear of regret over those of our number who have fallen by the wayside, lured by the glitter of gems and the whispered words of men. When they were in college, they made life miserable for us by their mail and their telephone calls and their candyparticu- larly the candy, of which we partook in over-doses because their dreams completely satisfied their respective sweet teeth. The outwardly unromantic Keenie was the first to openly herald her domestic intenticns, but it was not until the fall of our senior year, on the way home from Sliv's house party, that we discovered that EVERYTHING that glitters is not gold. On the contrary, it Keenie could, in times of stress, actually display sentiment. There is a poem on the subject, but it shall be forever lost to the world, out of respect for Keenie's mighty wrath. But who will ever forget Martha Houston when the two o'clock mail appeared? She was due at a drawing classa mere detail which she disregarded with magnificent contemptsailing in serenely twenty minutes late with the rapt expression of Joan of Arc on her face. Loudly we laughed, and cynically we flaunted her, but the green knife was turning within us. More power was given to the knife by Pat, with her Made- to-Order and his citations and crosses and Sunday newspaper pictures, and Marion Adams, who, all during freshman year monopolized Plant living-room with a distinguished-looking naval officer, while we took turns swaggering through the halls in his cape and trying on his cap. But Peg Pease is the most serious offender against the code of the scholastic pursuit. At the end of three years she turned 85 and was married before the opening of our senior year. That is a folly of which our little group of serious thinkers cannot conceive, and we smile in superior fashion when Peg writes of the joys of married life, of cooking and cretonnes, and principally of George. To be sure, our smile occasionally becomes a bit forced, and we find ourselves singing wistfully a cynical song that ends, Sy what's the use of anything? Oh, helll traitor, But what matter these trifling defections? Old maids we are proud to be! The unfortunate victims of men's wily ways who are still in our midst are too numerous to be accurately censured. The sweet Marion Bedell and the blushing Jeannette are brave adventuresses, and of course there is always Olive and Em. Words fail us at this point. We suspect many more who haunt the postoffice and take the 'Bride's Course in dietetics. But we leave them unmolested until they confess their treachery, and to all of these Queens of Hearts we wish long life and happiness and a sufficient number of servants.

She modeled it out of clay, and said, Little Gocd Fairy, you will always be of clay until you have proved yourself of some service in the world. Then you will come to life. Go, and may you soon live. The Good Fairy traveled widelyin department stores and homes and art galleries, but she could not seem to catch the breath of life because no one loved her enough, or else she did not love encugh. You see, the Woman had told her that no one can serve until he loves. She was very much discouraged until, at last, she came to the Hill of the Free Winds and lived among a group of girls, who loved her intensely because she seemed to express all the joy and eagerness and beauty of their life upon the Hill. One night, the Good Fairy was taken to a banquet hall, placed on a table, and draped in chiffon. She grew very much alarmed and thought, Is this my bridal robe? What have done to de- serve such a fate? But soon the veil was lifted gently and she saw the girls in the banquet hall, standing with their glasses in their hands, gazing at her, while one girl was asking her, in the name of all she symbolized, to be '21's Good Fairy and guard over them. Suddenly, a warm glow came over the Good Fairy, and she realized that the Woman had made her with her arms outstretched just that she might receive and give the love and inspiration she felt. At that moment she came to life, and forever after she belonged to the Class of 1921, serving them nobly by bringing them good luck. And so the joyous, thrilling Good Fairy lives forever in spirit in the hearts of the girls of 1921, O golden, fairy figure, The mascot of our class! Hold high the gold and purple, Ne'er let its prestige pass. 88 To thee, O tiny mascot, Into thy guiding hands, We trust the Class of 2 To spread o'er many lands. The hopes and aspirations, The motto, To a Star, The ideals of our college, Spread these, both near and far. Protect the class, Good Fairy; Fach member guide and hold To all we learned to think most In the college days of old. And give to Alma Mater All boons for which we crave. Bestow for all the ages The good and true and brave. 89 R SRR, SENIOR. STONE- WALL SINGS 2 WHEN THE MOON PLAYS PEEK-A-BOO HE man in the moon is developing one unpleasantly effemi- nate characteristicnamely, coyness-and is practising the gentle art on the Class of 1921, with the result that the most distinguishing characteristic of our moonlight stone-wall sings has been the absence of mioonlight. Almost invariably on three o'clock of the fatal day gray, frivo- lous clouds start playing tag with each other, luring more and more of their playmates into the game. After anxious consulta- tion with the astronomical expert in the registrar's office, the Senior Powers-That-Be decide to postpone the sing, until, after three nights of bleak mistiness, we grow desperate and file defi- antly into the dining-hall singing the famous 'O-c-o-m-e, come. when the moon begins to shine. Later, with the aid of a Japan- ese lantern and a Moon-Bearer, we gather at the stone-wall and sing lustily in rivalry with the shrill north winds, clutching fran- tically our caps and flapping gowns. The next night a beautiful, peaceful, wistful moon always shines over the hill-top and river, wondering why he is so griev- ously neglected this year. Tune: Waiting ' With the moon shining and blue shadows drear, Linger a while with us here. For though the world call you to go far and wide, We need you here by our side. So now we bring you our blessing, Unworthy though it be, And our true, eternal love. And if you will linger you'll find th : at we're loyal As the bright stars above. QFIE 90 Tune: Rutgers' Canoeing Song Come out and sing here Wrapped in the moonlight, We'll sail in our dream-boat onward. Great deeds before us, Great needs allure us, Need for the lessons learned at C. C. Here on the stone-wall we pledge ourselves To be worthy of Alma Mater. Whate'er we do, do beautifully, Bring honor to dear C. C. R. S. Tune: Follow the Gleam ' Down the broad, gleaming path of the moon, Eager arms stretched in greeting gay, Came a moon-sprite to earth one night, And the wind bore her message away. Live and laugh in the path of the moon Shedding beauty and worth over the earth. Live and laugh in the path of the moon As it shines on the river of life. Our class here upon the hill Heard the wind-whisper haunting and clear, Now the moon-sprite our Good Fairy is, And her message we'll ever hold dear. Live and laugh in the path of the moon Shedding beauty and worth over the earth. Live and laugh in the path of the moon As it shines on the river of life. 91 LEST WE FORGET JUNIORS H RAH! RAH! Twenty-two! Here we are with a biff l l ' and a bang! JUNIORS! Here we are,the smallest, the peppiest, the brightest, the readiest and altogether the nicest class in college, and we don't care who knows it. Our red and white' is the most colorful, and our hearts are the proud- estwell,p'raps just 'cause we're juniors,and then again guess it's 'cause we have such a nice big little sister class in 24, to root for us at a game when half of us are out on the field playing. We began life very earnestly three years ago,a war class, with an enrollment of sixty-seven, nearly twice our present num- ber. But alas,we have dwindled,some of us wandered far from the fold to swell the ranks of other classes. So that now we needs must sing twice as loud and occupy twice as many seats in chapel,hkestow upon ourselves a double load of dignity, and display twice our usual amount of pep,'all in order to fill up the large gaps that they left,those deserting members of 22. We sigh deeply and somewhat anxiously as we contemplate the year that is to come, and our knees are inclined to tremble just a wee trifle at the vision of caps and gowns, their significance and accompanying responsibilities. But e'en tho' the rising tide of multintudinous underclassmen threaten to submerge and over- whelm us, we're polishing up our guns for the fray and we mean to stand by to the last man, until they all own that it's not guantity that counts,it's quality.

Claudine Smith Cheer Leader, Miriam Taylor 94 LEST WE FORGET SOPHONORES HIS year we came back with a feeling of extreme insignifi- cance. As freshmen we had conquered the world but now we were dethroned by a horde of good-looking, well- dressed young persons with coiffures higher and wavier than any we had ever met. Their manners were equally high! We gave them a chance to more fully reveal their charms in the true Pick- fordian manner, making the reservation that the aforementioned be confined to two braids, lest they prove too alluring. After that we felt better, and our chest measures grew daily, until, with the rescue of '23's goatbless his whiskerwe knew that the world was once more ours. Then came the sophomore hop. We frolicked among our pine-trees like the nymphs on the hillside. Yea, verily, we intro- duced toddling! But then, do nymphs toddle? What filled our hearts with the greatest joy was the discovery of a latent leaning toward detecting. We steered our number sevens carefully among the beams and rafters of every edifice. We forced our one-and-a-half double A's through many mystic cellars. With a truly professional air we cast a keen and roving eye over the campus and with our accustomed unerring accuracy we accomplished the greatest triumph of our career. We un- earthed the Junior totem-pole. Now the spring comes and our chests continue to expand Next year we will be upper-classmen! C.

BIRTH-Our Baby first glimpsed in- tellectual light on September 18, 1920. Inspected minutely by Auntie Faculty, and viewed somewhat critically by her wide-eyed, wond'ring sisters, Senior, Junior, and Sophomore, she was rather tearful in her bewilderment and protests. FIRST CALLSeptember 21. Dele- gates of the Service League and presidents y of interesting clubs received a visit from Our Baby. Now that she has had her debut, the collegiate world seems a happy one, after all. FIRST DOCTOR'S VISITSeptember 22-29. Doctors Todd and Snevely examined Our Baby and pronounced her phys- ically perfect. Beyond being a wee bit embarrassed during this process the modest little dear wasn't annoyed a particle! 100 FIRST PARTIESOctober 9, 15, 23. Entertained successively by her aforemen- tioned sisters, Senior, Junior and Sopho- more, Our Baby seemed to take quite nat- urally and enthusiastically to social activities. FIRST TEETHNovember 5-12. Our Baby cut her first teeth in the shape of a fine row of class officers. A few days later, she cut six molarsIless important, but quite necessary, officers. Now that these political processes are over, she will chew quite like a grown-up! FIRST SONGDecember 16, January 15, February 24. A tune with the utter joyousness of the Christmastide and bub- bling over with the spirit of old Saint Nick, Our Baby sang! With a candle in her hand, she sang to her sisters. And later, estab- lishing a new family custom all her own, she serenaded the junior banquet. The eve of February she startled our family group with a song and dance. FIRST ACHIEVEMENTMarch 18. Our Baby won the cupan achievement most unusual for one so young, so they. tell us! Strong, keen and alert, we feel proudly certain that this basket-ball honor is only one of many to come in the life of our littl : istori ittle one C.

Trail 519 W COVERNMENT - DOROTHY GREGSON, PRESIDENT 106 STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION If there is one organization of which C. C. is proud above all others that is our Student Government Association, for here we have a living proof of the popular though sometimes unpopu- lar! idea that C. C.'s always different. Other colleges who boast complete self-government have had to either revolutionize an old system or tamely pick up the rein dropped by the faculty. We were more fortunate, for in the first year of the college Dr. Sykes took a seemingly radical step and granted to that pio- neer freshman class complete control of all non-academic matters, leaving them to work out their own salvation. Under the guid- ance of Winona Young, that marvel of efficiency and clear thought, a constitution was drawn up and officers elected. Dr. Sykes' faith has been justified, and the worth of that constitution proved by the fact that after seven years of service, practically the only change or additions necessary have been in minor rules. Student Government is not simply a form or a system as is a monarchy or an oligarchy. It is rather an ideal. Student Coun- cil, the representative body, is not the ruler. Our ideal is self- government and rules are necessary only to outline the conduct which public opinion of the student body considers worthy of a C. C. girl. We have no rules that are hand-me-downs or tradi- tions, but all are the result of careful thought by the whole stu- dent body. Honor system governs not only all keeping of rules, but also examinations and cutting of classes. This is a challenge to a girl's honor, self-respect, and will-power, and, as such, is as valuable a training for our larger citizenship as the four years of academic work. This year we adopted the following oath, to be administered to every girl when she enters college and the association. Al- though it is adapted only slightly from the Athenian Oath, admin- istered to the boys of Athens upon assuming the toga, the sign of citizenship, we feel that it expresses quite as well the ideals of Connecticut College Student Government Association. We will never bring disgrace to this, our college, by any act of cowardice or dishonor, nor ever desert our suffer- ing comrades in the rank. We will fight for the ideals and 107 sacred things of this college, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the college laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those who are prone to annul or set them at naught; we will strive increasingly to quicken the public's sense of civic duty. Thus in all these ways, we will transmit this college not only less great, but greater, better, and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.

The main task to which the league has devoted its energies has been the development of Col- lege Spirit and an attempt to bring the College in closer touch with the questions of the world and to develop a spirit of loyalty and teamwork in their solution, together with an appreciation of individual power and ability. The Children's Pleasure House started in 1920 has been con- tinued and further developed. At Christmas time 150 dolls were dressed for the kiddies at Christadora House. The annual doll- show presented a charming picture of dainty little figures varying from helpless babes to robust athletes. The Sunshine Committee has assuredly earned its name by the cheering work it has accomplished by visiting and caring for the sick, both on and off campus. Several groups of students have visited hospitals in the community and nearby towns, presenting plays or concerts. Help for the maintenance of a school for the Mountain Whites of Kentucky has been another important under- taking of the league. An entirely new but very successful feature has been the monthly discussions with President Marshall, who has been most gracious in cooperating in this phase of the work. The object of the Service League is to unite its mem- bers by bonds of friendship and loyalty, and to inspire them to give their sympathy and to dedicate their services to the advance- ment of college interests, community welfare, and national and international causes destined to benefit humanity. Such is the motto of the league, and though it is an exacting one, it has been loyally supported this year, and has awakened a cooperative spirit which goes far to explain the success of the organization. 110 OFFICERS OF SERVICE LEAGUE President i SN 22 L D SN Evelyn Taylor, 2 1 Vice:Presidens esin e Mildred Duncan, '22 Secretary !

Not only has it made this year a successful one, but it has also carried on an energetic campaign for the success of future years. This has been done by starting a movement for a worthy and well-equipped Connecticut College Crew, to which the college has responded heartily. To impel even greater competition in inter-class basket-ball the Class of 1923 presented a handsome silver cup which is to remain at the college, and on which the numerals of the cham- pions in basket-ball may be inscribed. The standards of the Athletic Association, 'good sportsman- ship, not the game but the form, ''clean, live playing are very typical of Connecticut spirit. CONNECTICUT COLLEGE OUTING CLUB The C. C. O. C. has organized hikes for practically every Sat- urday afternoon since its foundation in January. Miller's Pond, Cochegan Rock and Larrabee Oak are favorite destinations, and the Washington's Birthday picnic, held in the amphitheatre, is a treasured memory. Skiing, sliding and snowball fights stimulated appetites later satisfied by President Marshall's superb flapjacks. THE WEARIN' OF THE C The C, awarded to seniors for a large number of athletic points and the necessary qualities of sportsmanship and leader- ship, was this year given to five seniorsDorothy Wulf, Anna Mae Brazos, Jennie Hippolitus, Laura Batchelder, Rachel Smith. 114 ?7 THE RULE OF THE'ROYAL PURPLE On our left, ladies and gentlemen, we have the champion soccer team that won the first handle of the A. A. cup in 1919. With such an inspiring start we dove headlong into all other sports and came up victorious with the A. A. cup in our hands, It was a proud day. Unfortunately, however, several of our athletic planets, such as Taylor, Raykwich, and Rohan, disappeared the next year, and we felt a bit feeble and tottering, as though an absent- minded leader had given the command, Attention! Knees, raise! By our Senior year, however, we adjusted ourselves somewhat, won the hockey championship, and distinguished our- selves in other sports, thus proving conclusively that the purple still holds sway. FACULTY-SENIOR GAME The faculty, ac- cording to their hakit, beat the Seniors by the score of 1-0. This is a particularly annoying tradi- tion, and we think that Three times and out ought to be the rule here as elsewhere. '22, go to it! Dr. Leib managed to pull through with his eyes unblemished, and there were only three really spectacular tumbles. Neverthless, the game was very thrilling, despite the fact that the Freshman-Sophomore-Junior fight uprooted all the rooters, leaving the team supported solely by a few Dartmouth devotees and the remaining Senior. 115 s i CRICKET ON THE CREASE N '21's Blue and White cricket teams, in the good old days before cricket retired to the hearth.

THOSE SIX O'CLOCK PRACTICES Worms have never had a very strong fascination for my aes- thetic sense, and doubtless this is the reason for my non-ambition to be an early bird. But whatever the cause, the result is that team practices at six in the morning are to me distinctly annoying. In the first place, I usually make some idiotic or regrettable remark to the stern iconoclast who shatters my dreams; and in the second, third and fourth places, I do not like six o'clock team practices! In the fall, when we stagger to the soccer field, the sunrises do in some measure soothe my ruffled feelings. 1 adore sunrises but I think that sunrises, like all other beautiful things, should not be made common by too frequent display. Three times a week is too much! But winter basket-ball practices are the most upsetting of orisons. The door being always locked, you stand and shiver for ten minutes, waiting for Diogenes and his key. Then the gym is sulky and disagreeable, to say nothing of your fellow team-mates. After playing doggedly and grouchily for an hour, wandering wearily home while all sensible people are still asleep, showering, dressing and repeating the latest signals, you feel as bitterly imposed upon as though Satan had inadver- tently put eight days into exam week. In the fifth and last place, I do not like six o'clock team practices. . 17 I b ; Here we have the nightingales of C.

Harnessed together by Dr. Coerne, they sit like monarchs P- ' of all they survey in chapel, and thy warble beautifully at Sunday 1 vespers, adding a great deal of dignity and beauty to the service. , The Christmas cantata and the musical service at commencement are particularly fine features of their work. 120 YRATMATIC CLUB Dramatic Club! Mecea of all those with Sarah Bernhardtish ambitions, and of those who strive to outdo Robert Jones in fantastic and artistic stage settingsnay, even of those who hope fervently that some day, somewhere, they might play opposite John Barrymore. The monthly meetings, at which a short play is presented, prove beyond dispute the lively interest of the club members. In the fall, the club presented three short plays, A Pot o' Broth, The Wonder Hat, and ' 'Op o' Me Thumb''; at Christmas they did the mystery play, The Nativity, with beautiful effect, and in the spring they will produce a longer and more elaborate play.

The purpose of the club is to further student interest in stringed instruments any Blackstone-ite will tell you of its success in this direction; and to provide musical programs at college functions. And in these fields the club has won fame on campus and abroad. Its annual concerts resemble fashionable crushes for some visiting Czecho- Slovakian celebrity, and ushers are forced to hang out a 'S.

MANDOLIN CLUB 125 To the members of this club, mathematics is not a 'dry as dust subject to be shunned along with Greek and ancient He- brew, but a fascinating opportunity to use the brains with which Nature endowed them, in working out difficult problems. At the monthly meetings, papers dealing with such imposing topics as the 'magic square and the fourth dimension, are read, and lectures are brought to the gatherings from fellow institutions. The ranks are swelling, for students are coming to realize that Math. majors are not necessarily demented creatures who like work, but jolly, and unusually keen-minded individuals under the instruction of a jolly and unusually keen-minded professor.

With never flagging energy and vigilance, and no small amount of college and faculty co-operation, the News has reached the heights of undimmed popularity. The installation of a back page of com- ments on student and college activities has been very popular with lovers of the frivolous. The poetry column has enthralled and inspired would-be versifiers, while the editorials and liter- ary offerings have appealed to the more serious minded intel- lectualists.

As soon as Ukes' began to gain prestige I in the North, at Connecticut, by day, by h night, at odd hours, devotees clasped the small instruments fondly to them, and picked out weird, untutored chords. Lov- ingly they toted about the little wooden box, in its green case, until, as the ranks swelled, those bound by the chords of the Uke' formed themselves into a club. And through seasons of its being, the club has evolved from a more or less enthusiastic, but discordant, medley of notes, to a harmony that hints subtly of black waters, white sands, waving palms, corn-stalk skirts, and delicately shivering shouldersHawaii.

THE LEGEND OF THE LOVER'S CLIFF IN BOLLESWOOD HE precipice in Bolleswood, known to the Indians as Cowas. suck, the Place of the Pines, is the scene of an old legend that has won for it the name 'Lovers Cliff. Many years ago, before the white man came, Uncas was the great chief of the Mohegan tribe, and he received a tribute from the Nahanticks, a neighboring tribe. The chief of the Nahan- ticks was Owenoco, called the Earthquake, because he was so heavy that the earth trembled when he walked. Owenoco loved the bright-eyed, nimble-fingered Weetah, of the tribe of Uncas she who wove the willows into beautiful baskets: but Weetah loved and was loved by the swift-footed Tocumwas. But Owen- oco was rich and powerful, and Tocumwas had nothing but him- self to offer, so Weetah was to be given to the Earthquake. But the morning that Owenoco came to claim the maiden she had disappeared, even though her uncle had bound her to a post in the wigwam. He could find no trace of her, and he stamped off vowing to kill Tocumwas, who he thought had helped her to escape. But Weetah had gone away alone, wandering along the shore where the rising tide would wash away her footprints, until finally at dawning she reached the Bay of Nahantick. She crossed in a cance that had drifted up on the shore, and at last she was safe in the land of Uncas, Roaming along the Mohegan trail that we know as Gallow's Lane, gossiping with the birds, and gathering strawberries, she finally reached the brook tha ; t runs through Cowassuck. There, under the ledge, grew a great tupelo or 132 pepperidge tree, whose level branches are broad and thick and covered with leaves. Tired out, she lay down under its shade and was lulled to sleep by the whispering and trilling of the brook. That morning, when Tocumwas came in from the hunt with some red squirrels in his hand, a friend warned him that Owenoco was raging like a whirlwind and vowing to kill him. But Tocum- was was so glad that Weetah had escaped that he only laughed and started out to look for her. Just then the earth trembled violently, and the fierce Owenoco came rushing like a storm at Tocumwas. But Tocumwas was fleet of foot, and slipped away from him. The mighty race that followed was like the thunder- bolt after the lightning, or the water-fall after the river before it, and neither one could change the distance between them. Finally, panting and bleeding, they reached Cowassuck, where Tocumas was caught and held in a scrag of the pine-tree. The giant Owen- oco wound his hand in Tocumwas' hair, and, dragging him to the edge of the cliff, dropped him over. Looking over the edge of the cliff, he could see nothing but the boughs and the brook, and he went off, uttering a low yell of triumph. Had he but had better eyes, he would have seen that Tocum- was had fallen into the topmost branches of the strong tupelo tree, and rested there unhurt. In gratitude he thanked the Great Spirit for his life, and sighed out, Tell me, Great Spirit, if my Weetah lives! And a voice breathed out, Weetah lives. He thought it was an cho, but he asked again, Dost thou say my Weetah lives? and the answer came back, Weetah lives! , and there, under the tree, was Weetah herself. With a cry of delight, Tocumwas leaped down from the tree, and the moon shone down oc their rejoicing. 18 i The neth morning, when Uncas came out from his wigwam, he found the two tired lovers beseeching his favor. l-;f granted l them protection forever from Owenoco, and adopted Tocumwas into the Mohegan tribe.

NOW one mhouses. ers from e glowed 134 But today the only reminder of earlier war is the tall granite shaft which lifts itself upward to the sky on the site of Fort Gris- wold. Where now rises the smoke of placid and secure hearths, once curled the signal columns of the fierce Pequot. This war- like nation was a branch of the great Algonquin race which spread over America from Greenland far to the South. This particular branch, the Pequots or Mohegans, migrated from what is now New York State, because of insufficient game supplies for such a large nomadic population. Along the banks of the Thames they found a country just suited to their needs. The Pequots established themselves in several villages along the Thames, and became the terror of all neighboring tribes. For years they made their history with bow and tomahawk under able chiefs. Not only was their enmity for tribes of their own race, but also for the white usurper, and the battleground of Fort Griswold was once the scene of a fearsome massacre of early New England settlers. During the rule of Sassacus a division of the tribe occurred. Uncas, a blood relation and a rival for the chieftainship, revolted and fled with many followers to the opposite bank of the Thames. Here he settled, and, making professions cf friendship, became the ally and later the protege of the whites. This band became known as Mohegans, or Mohicans, and their chief village took this name. This same village exists today, and here live the descendants of Uncas and his band, verily the Last of the Mohicans. To- day, however, there is scarcely a perceptible difference betwezn those with Indian bloed in their veins and other inhabitants of the neighborhood. The site of Uncas's fort and the old Indian bury- ing-ground near Norwich are interesting relics of the past. And so these stirring pages of history have not been lost to us, for the memory of the Indian still lives in place and name and in legend. Old Indian tales cling to our campus and form a fabric of dreamsa dim, yet passionate, fabric of shadowy wig- wams nestling on wocded hills, of war and the chase, of dusky figures outlined against a sunset sky. 135 eSS CORNER THE SONG OF THE AUTUMN This is the song of the autumn leaf, as it clung to the flaming tree, Till the blast arose with a boisterous shout and sent it flying free, And tossed it wildly hither and yon and dashed it far on high, Till its flaming crimson seemed to burn in the blue of the wind- swept sky! Ho in a bacchanal, I leap where the wild winds shriek and roar, Swiftly rise to the cold blue skies, then dart to the earth once more! Up and away again I soar in the whirlwind's mad embrace, Flung about by the vagrant gusts, in a buoyant, giddy chase. How I scoff at the barren boughs that held me fast so long: How I laugh in my joyous scorn, with a challenge in my song Lift up your gaunt old arms to God, and beg revenge, O treel Behold, I defy your futile curse, for the wind has set me free! This was the song of the autumn leaf, till the raging, whistling gale Sent forth its life in one great blast, then died with a fitful wail ; And the crimson leaf, like a flame burnt out, sank slowly to the ground, To join the throng of its fellow leaves, brown and sere around, And the sun went down, and twilight came, with its silent mystery, And the purple dusk encompassed all, save the barren, leafless tree.

Many come to us in that guise, but the exotic budding of the artiste's temperament is usually blasted before the college career is far advanced. The transformation of Aesthetes in C. C. girls is an interesting process. During the first few days, they droop and sway around the campus, assuming negligent poses and occasionally yawning forth uplifting remarks for the benefit of any of the hoi polloi who may heed. They are apt to speak in mystic phrases given a duel significance when uttered with the nonchalant air of one who is of The World and Experienced. But soon, soon the change begins! An aesthete who could long endure the lusty gales and girls of our campus would be too sturdy for an Aesthete. Of CONNECTICUT COLLEGE is hard on the Aesthetewhen- such is genius! But to return to our Aesthete. The first and greatest thorn in her path is gym, looming large and menacing upon the Way of Truth which she would fain pursue. Who can be busily engaged in a little bit of serious thinking and at the same time correctly execute Right face! Left face! Right about facel For-r-r-ward, march!Halt! Even genius does not care for the publicity which ensues when one marches steadily on, leaving the rank and file standing at ease on the other side of the gym. Furthermore, 2 knee that has been vigorously rapped by a hockey stick unfits one for rambling 'mong the flowers like a Child of Nature; and thoughts for the uplift of the masses are apt to be knocked vio- lently askew when a vulgar soccer ball lands on one's chest. Even the elements seem to conspire against the pursuit of the Real Meaning of Things. Who can gaze dreamily at Dian's pale crest seeking inspiration for some new effusion when the mer- ciless wind jams one's hat over the eyes, thus effectively conceal- ing the pale-orbed Huntress? Or who can roam the verdant fields to seek the Real Heart of Things when it is necessary to wear hip-boots to keep from being engulfed by 'Our Special brand of mud? Despise the material as one may, here even the most adamant of Aesthetes must bow before Aeolus and Plu- vius, e en though the Muses be neglected. 141 THE PURSUIT OF PAGANISM Great God! I'd rather be a Pagan Suckled in a creed unknown. T a tender age I decided Wordsworth was right and when a mere infant decided to pose as a modern Pagan. This tendency was especially vociferous on Sundays when rebelled strenuously against the early rising necessitated by church attendance. When I came to college, I looked around to see how I could best exercise my abilities as a Pagan. I still nurtured my late rising, but how else? At last came a chance. An aesthetic danc- ing class was formed! Here did I go nightly to worship at the shrine of Terpsis. With flowing robes and clash of cymbals fur- nished by groaning radiators and the flash of swift feet was she worshipped. Her shrine was in the mystic recesses of the gym. The floor gleamed cold and golden 'neath the lights. We swayed to the rhythm of the dance while those beneath, not initiated in the sacred rites, deemed us engaged in basket-ball. In the service of the goddess we prostrated ourselves in the dust speaking literally. With beatific expressicns of peace we illustrated relaxation while our hare feet were pierced by unsym- pathetic slivers. But who would not be a mazrtyr for one's faith? The thought of sacrifice thrills me and while I suffer tortures with a classic Grecian smile, I feel that at last I am achieving paganism. THE DIARY OF AN ENTHUSIASTIC JUNIOR APRIL 17Isn't college simply wonderful? I just love my classes, and have such perfectly splendid professors! It is my ideal to be a college professorto be always reaching up towards the heights of knowledge, to live in that pure atmosphere of all that is intellectual, and to be entrusted with that divine task of leading the young in the paths of learning! APRIL 18Today I learned that insanity is mental malad- justment and that college students often go insane. asked my Erofessor if I should know if I were going insane, and he said, OhSycst i have never felt that 1 was losing my mind, but feel often, oh, very often, that am not really understood by any- one. I think it is because am not able to let my true depth of 142 thought and feeling manifest itself. The sorrows of him who can- not express himself are many! They say that the best thing re- pressed persons can do to learn to express themselves is to write verse. 1 tried it the other dayof course these are my first at- tempts but I should always like to keep them. Here is one on the Spring: My soul has been slumbering long through the winter Awaiting the touch of the finger of Spring. With a breeze from the South she has blown wide the portals Spring is now in my Blood! Though my thoughts travel i In the dull blue and the distant gray of the heavens il My soul doth ride freely The whitest of June's puffy clouds. I Wide! i Doth my soul stretch to eternity; w Open ye great and ye small To my soul! 'Tis a bird, wild, immortal, A flower, A Truth. And here another one: Far in the slumbering depths of the Forest, i Soft 'neath the moss and pine needles, Wakened the passionate soul of the Spring Time, Stirring the worms and the beetles. Then through the seeming-dead trees and the bushes, Through the tenderest saplings Pulsed the rich nurturing food that is Nature's Building the weakest to straplings. APRIL 191 am so glad we are going to have outdoor sports now. This spring I am going to try for the Clock Golf Cham- pionship. And I love croquet! I play a little game all my own when I play croquet. I make believe each ball represents some- thing evil in this world, and I get such enjoyment out of hitting those balls with all my strength! One I call Sin, there's anothe: called Bolshevism, another Selfishness, and so on. After all, that is the real value of educationIlearning to relate what we learn to present-day problems. Oh, I just love college! MiEsE21aand J B 23t 143 THE MAN PROBLEM T was not so many years ago that this dread figure, the man problem, stalked among us. We of twenty-one were Freshmen in those days, and gazed with eyes wide and round at the proceedings of the socially minded upper classmen. Not one but kept an engagement book, and faced weekly the grave problems of whether she had best ask Jack or Ted, or risk taking a civilian to the next dance. Every week brought a dance in the gym or a trip to one of the forts where officers' balls were given. Worn and thin we were, answering door bells, delivering flowers, acting as maids, or helping decide whether Lieutenant Sam or Ensign Jim were the better dancer. Worn but willing, for did we not visualize the days to come, when we should be the favored ones. Alas! Those who were swept by the social whirl, and ourselves, busy with helping the others keep pace, failed to recognize the apparition for what he really was. But the facultyand the seri- ous minded members of Twentyhailed the problem and at- tempted to warn us of prophesied dangers. Was C. C. becoming co-educational? Must we buy more hat racks for Winthrop? How can we cope with the army and navy invasion? But could they hope to demand attention when there was hardly enough time to answer all the phone calls? Nay, and in desperation did the faculty forge a two-edge sword with which to slay our for- midable foe. This weapon was called The Social Calendar. And these days, which find Twenty-One Seniors, find a campus haunted by the ghost of the ruthlessly slain Man Question. His stature is shrunken and his manner is much less dashing, but he holds far worse horrors for us than did his predecessor. No longer is there a choice of cavaliers in khaki or navy blue, no longer do well worn engagement books and scribbled mes- sages exist. These days, long hours are spent in finding anyone at all who has the time to beiwith us. Broken are the brave spirits which so confidently promised men to indefinite numbers of their friends. We droop. Over the same ground, once stamped by boots and stabbed by spurs, come the modest foot- falls of those whom we summon to our standards. Doors once swung open to Jack, Ted or Bob on respective nights, now creak 144 back rustily to Kenneth at tea dance, hop and prom if one is so fortunate to find a Kenneth with so much leisure. And still time proceeds! What have you in store for these who come after us, dread spectre of our worry-fevered nights? We beg thee be lenient Look thou on what thou hast done unto us, once of unbroken and undaunted spirits. OS2 OVERTONES MEMORIES OF BLACKSTONE of midnight on the hill-top. Lights twinkle gaily in the dormitory across the court, and you lie in bed, drifting off to sleep under the spell of the moon. Suddenly a sibilant whisper comes across the court, Betty! Oh, Betty Brown! Betty Bro-own! BettyHey there, Betty! Finally, after a shrill signal whistle, the window under yours bangs open. Hello! Oh, Betty, I just couldn't go to sleep until I told you. Teddy called up from New Haven and he's coming up this week-end. MOONLIGHT on slate roofs, and calm, transparent stillness Oh, my dear! erupts from Betty. I'm so thrilled I could talk all night. You must meet him, Betty. And what do you suppose he said? Ditto and ditto for ten minutespeace for ten seconds then shrieks of mirth. Someone across the court is giving a party, which means at least one hour of torture. You rise and stick your head out of the window, emitting a shsssh like a Fourth of July skyrocket. A little less noise for about two minutes, then the racket begins afresh. Again you 'sshssh vibratingly, only to be greeted with an impertinent answering 'sshsssh. With wounded and smouldering feelings you return to bed and listen for an hour or so to the sounds of revelry. Finally the party breaks up; time has healed your wounded feelings; and again you prepare to drift under the spell of the moon. But not so! Sharp, short barks, like the descent of a whole closet-full of kitchen ware, break the silence. Curse not the Fates, Oh, Soull Not only to Walter Pater is it given to feel the ecstasy of White Nights. Sooner, our beloved little black- and-tan, is expressing the rapture of the moonlight in chasing his tail! 145 LAMENTATION OF AN ART MAJOR ROM time immemorial there has been a very odd tradition afloat among the lovers of art for art's sake that the only way to see things in their proper relationships is to look at them with the eyes half-shut. It is a venerable tradition, and as such honorit. But I confess that for me it is impractical. Nature blessed me with small eyes, which my friends irreverently call pig-eyes. Under this handicap I cannot see as much as others, anyway, and with the eyes half-shut everything becomes a beau- tiful, mysterious fog. Nevertheless, like the courtiers in legend who admired the coronation robe of the naked king, nobly uphold tradition. I have cultivated the finest details of the pose, and beside me Mr. Selden looks like the merest amateur. The head is tilted slightly backward, the weight of the body is on the left foot, the left hand reclines gracefully on the hip, while the right hand instinct- ively and delicately moves through the air as though it could not resist tracing the motion of the scene or picture. My only reward for the object of my squint is immediately spoiled for me comes when some bystander, nudging his neighbor, whispers in awed tones, 'She's an artist. The magic benediction has been pronounced. SOUL STIRRINGS I am emotional. I used to be psychic, but that's going out. Everyone who is anyone is emotional these days. live on music. My soul demandsit. Some girls come to college to learn, some come to play, but I come for the food of life. Every year my taste changes a bit, due to an overindulgence in the old standbys. This year I am doing quite well with 'Lena and Her Concertina, and my new 'Figi-Gee-Gee. Lena has a pleasantly plumpish taste, while the Gee-Gee is solid flesh. Did you ever lie on your couch and listen to the music that creeps through the transom? Try it tonight between 9:30 and 10:00. There is something beautifully catholic in the combination of airs. am particularly fortunate. My room is in the heart of 146 AR . the house how appropriate that is for an emotional creature. I am surrounded by Victrolas, with here and there a sprinkling ! of pianos, banjos, mandolins, and ukes. Last year I said to Julia, 1 Julia, this thing of putting me up among the silent trunk rooms and soulless linen closets must cease, and that right quickly. I must be where there is music. My soul demands it. Julia said that she could sympathize. She always has two phones in her office so that their voices blend. Have you ever noticed how nicely telephone voices blend? We have a telephone in our dormitory and the voices are con- stantly blending, rising and falling, don't you know. But to get back to the subject of music. My soul stirs each morning at six-thirty, when I hear the clear, sweet voice of the rising bell outside my door. Merely knowing that someone or something is up and ready to call me to another day puts new life, new vigor into me. And at night I sleep, yes, how I sleep. The good night bell is so cheering, so refreshing. It says, You have done well today, at least as well as possible. 1 will call you in the morning. JoiBare 2 THE GOD OF MAMMON because Heaven reputedly boasts golden streets, the way to Heaven is necessarily paved with gold. However, even the most idealistic among us cannot deny that money is the root of a great deal of good, and that much of our excess energy in college is spent in digging for these roots. Drives for proms, war reconstruction, crew, starving Austrians, commencement budget, Service League, Endowment Fundthese are but a few of the thousand worthy causes that fill our lives with enthusiasm and pauperism. The most vivid and lasting impression of 21's fresh- man year is of C. C. students trooping to town on Saturday after- noon to stand behind counters, to act as nursemaids, or to hand out change from a cashier's cell. We were earning our Student Friendship Fund pledges! C C. is not a business college. Neither do we believe that, 0 147 After four years of drives and campaigns we grow older and wiser, and discover that the nearest way to a college girl's pocket- book is parallel to the way to a man's heart, for such is our gen- erosity that we give to each worthy cause not only our ducats but also our digestions. Even our dainty little Student Govern- ment president will eat onion sandwiches to buy one splinter of a C. C. shell; Miss Sherer, in true sporting fashion, licked her first ice-cream cone to help 21's Junior Prom fund; and Dr. Kel- logg can always be relied upon to buy lolly-pops for each little Corn-Flake. Stunts and auctions are other effective methods of separating the allowance from the allowed. We pass over the stunts with- out commentthe subject is too painful! Auctions are less agonizing at the time of collection, for Jeanette Sperry has proved her right to stand with those famous historical figures, Oudin and Hester, as Auctioneer Par Excellence. It is not until the morning after, when the sun shines brightly on our new acquisitions or the rain drips frivolously through our new umbrellas, that any regret is felt. And now, O God of Mammon, who giveth and who also tak- eth away, may we ask our question? We are loyal, enthusiastic supporters of all drives from the Dog-Housing Proposition up, but how in the name of High Finance, having pledged our last cents and sense to a cause, can we be expected to support all or any hot fudge sundae sales, teas or musicales for the benefit of that cause? 'Tis a miracle but one which we are called upon to perform at least ten times a week. VOICES FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD A SERMON ON DEATH, BY THE GHOST OF THE ART GUILD TEXT: In death thou art greatest of all O die gloriously is to achieve greatly; and we, the shades of the Art Guild, hereby wish to extol our death and to offer it as an example to other organizations who feel that . ; j they have lived in vain. We mention no names! 148 In life we were mediocre, fulfilling no other purpose than to spend time and money. Hence we resolved to commit suicide. Even though the price of barrels and carfare to Niagara Falls was suffering from the war, we must die spectacularly; and so we enriched Pete's and Gager-Crawford's with our whole treasury, and turned the studio into an oriental den for the consumption of the spoils. Mystic music, purple candles and bizarre and fas- cinating costumes completed the funeral preparations, but the de- tails of the wake are forever a secret between the Shades of the Art Guild and Dr. David Leib, who drifted in to mourn but stayed to eat and talk of horse races. Suffice it to say that we died triumphantly and artistically. And the moral is: Fear not death, my sistern! Tis sweeter than life, and 'tis the essence of earthly pleasure to revel at your own wake. MESSAGE NUMBER TWOBEATRICE FAIRFACTS. I have received this query from a senior at Connecticut Col- lege, and I feel that I simply must answer it: Dear Beaty had great difficultyin fact, extreme difficulty, in acquiring unto myself an escort for the Tea Dance, and I blush to admit that was driven to Bulkeley High School in the end. Although am extremely domestic and fond of children, I would like to be informed on a few methods of attracting the grave and rev- erend college youth. Fervently yours, Marion. - The dear child! I know just how she feels! Since this is the age of vamps, not of flirts, the modern heart-breaker must revise her technique. Curls and lisps are abandoned for more subtle, but no less effective weapons, and you may choose from many types. There is always The Original VampShe who wears low-cut black gowns and jade earrings, and as she nonchalantly blows smile-rings against all rules! remarks in a bored tone, Oh, yes! Poor Peter Hen- drickson! Perhaps was to blame, after alll' Mob psychology 149 R R R rrommmmn proves that a visiocn of a string of broken hearts inevitably arouses a desire to join the crowd. Then there is The Soulful Vamp-she who affects clinging things in odd shades of red. She reeks of sandalwood perfume, and quotes Oscar Wilde with every third word. In fact, her conversation is nothing more or less than an anthology breathed out in dreamy sighs. She adores the Little Review. Next comes The Athletic Vamp. This is the most deadly of the species vampirus, because it is so deceptive. would advise you to use her as a model. Frank, clear-eyed, boyish, and with a comradely grip, she lures a man onto a horse and rides ruth- lessly over hills and fences and brooks. Finally, when he is com- pletely exhausted, she consents to stop, and suddenly displays marvelous athletic ability with her eyes. She talks of Platonic friendship and the inspiration thereof; and in this weak, fatigued state, mere man is helpless against the senss of physical inferiority, and the lure of sunset-reflecting eyes and white riding-breeches.
